Nobel Prize winner James Watson died at 97 having made monumental contributions to science while also leaving a legacy tarnished by sexism, racism and the erasure of colleagues like Rosalind Franklin. His life illustrates both the best and worst of the scientific establishment.

New CSIRO survey of 900 Tasmanians shows strong love for the coast, but almost 70 percent worry about rapid change. Ocean warming, plastic waste, and biosecurity top the list. Scientists are the most trusted voices, with strong support for restoration work.

A devastating set of decisions on the part of UC leadership to withdraw support from our nationally recognized postdoc program that prioritizes research excellence combined with addressing our university public service mission. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

A comprehensive global assessment of the status & trends of alien species for major taxonomic groups. This is an outstanding product of the 2023 IPBES assessment on invasive species. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

In just six months, China added 256 gigawatts (GW) of new #solar capacity — more than the entire solar infrastructure ever built by the United States. That’s enough clean energy to power over 40 million homes, marking the fastest renewable expansion in human history.

"State departments and Auditors-General repeatedly warn that governments face rising costs as mining companies underfund their rehabilitation obligations. "

VERY inportant

A NOAA hurricane researcher explains how forecasters knew where #HurricaneMelissa, with 185 mph sustained winds, was headed, which gave thousands extra time to evacuate. buff.ly/5Mpq8wp

Sounds pretty vague and unpromising to environmental priorities

Like pulling the plug of a bathtub: an incredible mass of #glacier ice disappearing at Griesgletscher (🇨🇭/🇮🇹) in one century. It felt emotional to visit the exact same spot @swisstopo cartographers chose in 1919. The view was so different. Simply unbelievable!! @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social

🚨2025 #RedList Update🚨 We have reassessed 1,360 bird species. Out of the 11,185 species assessed worldwide:  ⚠️11.5% are globally threatened. 📉61% have declining populations. But restoring habitats will help put these species on a path to recovery.🌱 Read more👉 www.birdlife.org/red-list-upd...

Many sea stars begin life as young fairy-like creature (called a brachiolaria) that float through the open ocean. Eventually, a small star forms within them (here in yellow). The fairy-like brachiolaria sinks under the star’s weight, and the star pops out! 🎥@the_story_of_a_biologist (on Insta)

Up. Up. And away! North Pacific water temps the past 15 years, with September 2025 being the cherry on the top (right) of the chart. @zacklabe.com is going to need a bigger Y axis!

Wonderful personal piece on Jane Goodall news.mongabay.com/2025/10/how-...

Jane Goodall’s legacy: three ways she changed science

Read about the interconnections between biodiversity, water, food, health & climate in the IPBES #NexusAssessment:

🚨 NEW PUBLICATION 🚨 Today in @currentbiology.bsky.social, we found that 30 species of #sharks, #rays, and #chimaeras overlap with proposed #deepseamining in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction #ABNJ - over 60% are already #threatened with #extinction 🦈 📸 Blue Planet Archive / Masa Ushioda

Important thread!! The “lone genius” myth of scientists is always wrong, and western science often erases the knowledge and contributions of local and indigenous people. Be inspired, but don’t be fooled by the prevailing narrative.

🎉 A historic win for our ocean! The #HighSeasTreaty just passed the 60 ratifications needed to enter into force! This landmark pact brings powerful new tools to protect the deep ocean and sets binding obligations for nations to uphold strong environmental standards: https://bit.ly/46LpKsy

The BBNJ agreement comes into force! A victory for our oceans, planet and environmental multilateralism. Now the work begins. Quick, effective implementation is key. Our ocean is the foundation of our very existence. Today we took an important step to save not only our ocean, but also our future.

Have you heard the whalely good news? The High Seas Treaty, a legally binding global agreement to protect marine life in the high seas, is officially entering into force! Is it perfect? No-but it’s an incredible milestone for the ocean I’ll dive deeper into this in my next Ocean Brief newsletter

Check out MARMORIS - a new NGO founded to explore #deepsea habitats in The Bahamas ewnews.com/new-bahamian... Beyond excited too see a fellow Bahamian passionate about deep-sea research. Way to go Denley, @katycroffbell.bsky.social and team!

Boooooooooo

Gee whiz. Things are going great.

“It’s hard to overestimate the influence of Fourier analysis in math,” said mathematician Leslie Greengard. “It touches almost every field of math and physics and chemistry and everything else.”

A new report on Australia’s research sector shows research funding is completely inadequate with major gaps in knowledge and training in demography, technology and AI, climate science and solutions and geosciences. @aunz.theconversation.com

DFA proposal that @DalhousieU demanded we drop for "interest arbitration"- Dal increase child care spots at Dal to benefit all parents at Dal, not just faculty. Not fully discussed before the Board left conciliation. #KeepDalStrong

Matt Numer, Health Promotion, urges the @dalhousieu.bsky.social board back to the table. Let’s save the Fall term. Students need this resolved. #keepdalstrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social @nsgeu.bsky.social

How does DOSI engage at PrepCom? Our expert members actively engage with and track developments in BBNJ negotiations, providing analysis and advocating for strong, transparent governance mechanisms for science-policy and data sharing. 📸 #DOSI members Amelia and Christine at PrepCom II

An ‘extreme’ heatwave has hit the seas around the UK and Ireland – here’s what’s going on theconversation.com/an-extreme-h...

Just to add some more detail: they announced the lockout halfway through the voting period and now have shut down access to email over a day before voting was set to close. The voting key and instructions were sent to our Dal emails.

The reputational risk to #Dalhousie University from its misguided and ill-considered lockout of Faculty is massive. A glance at the Board makeup, mainly corporate types, makes me worry they may have no idea what makes a successful University, what Faculty do, and why.

Thanks to the NS Federation of Labour for their letter of support. This type of solidarity will help our members stay strong on the lines tomorrow! #KeepDalStrong @cupe3912.bsky.social @nsgeu.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social nslabour.ca/statement-fr...
